E3 1903 Top 10

"Most of us here at GameSpy had a jolly good time covering the E3 2003 show, but not many people realize that E3 has attracted gamers and lovers of technology from across the globe for over a century now.

Before it was renamed the Electronic Entertainment Expo in 1964, E3 was referred to as the Electric Entertainment Exhibition. It was first held in 1880, and the only thing on display that year was Thomas Edison's new incandescent filament lightbulb, complete with evacuated glass bulb and screw base. Back then, the act of merely staring at a lightbulb for hours on end was a viable means of amusement."
